Follow Celldweller:

The self-titled debut that started it all has turned ten.

At the dawn of the new millennium, songwriter, producer, and multi- instrumentalist Klayton created Celldweller, a ground-breaking aural entity for the next age. Thriving on originality, Celldweller cross-bred electronic styles such as Drum'n'Bass and Psy-Trance with modern Alternative Rock and Metal on his self-titled debut, released independently in 2003.

The Celldweller album met with critical acclaim while climbing to #17 on the Billboard Internet Sales Chart. Celldweller gained Top 40 Metal Radio charting with the track "I Believe You" pulling into a solid 11th place on the R&R Alternative Specialty Show Chart. Achieving a feat shared by only an elite handful of albums, every song on Celldweller was eventually licensed for use in popular media. These songs were heard in movie trailers, TV shows, and games such as Spider Man 2, Constantine, Crackdown, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Enter the Matrix, CSI, UFC, The Shield, and more.

Now, Celldweller has been reissued to celebrate the tenth anniversary of its release with updated artwork and a second disc of remixes, demos, and previously unheard rarities (all remastered for this release). While Klayton busies himself in his Detroit studio preparing the future of Celldweller for 2013, celebrate the past with this monumental work.

Once you've listened to the Celldweller album, you've got no way to Switchback.

*2020 - this track is like 17 years old* - but I guess I'll listen to it until forever ♥

This song was all over CS 1.6 frag movies back in the day. And how I got into Celldweller honestly.

I've made a choice that I regret
Now what I see is what I get
It's too late to look back
I've got no way to switch back
It's too late to look back
Ain't okay, I got no way to (switchback)
Wait, how can it be too late?
'Cause I don't want to play
With such a price to pay
It's too late to look back (too late to)
Ain't okay, I got no way to (switchback)
A painful picture that I can't forget
Now, what I see is what I get
It's too late to look back
I've got no way to switch back
It's too late to look back
Ain't okay, I got no way to (switchback)
Wait, how can it be too late?
'Cause I don't want to play
With such a price to pay
Chained to what I can't reclaim
I'll never be the same
It's too late to look back (too late to)
Ain't okay, I got no way to switch back
And there's no way to
It's too late to look back (too late to)
Ain't okay, I got no way to (switchback)
It's too late to look back (switchback, switchback)
I've got no way to switch back (switchback)
It's too late to look back
I've got no way to switch back
It's too late to look back
I've got no way to switch back
It's too late to look back
Ain't okay, I got no way to (switchback)
And everybody foolin' on with their rick rack
And it's about time we put them on their back
Meaner and leaner, we take up the slack
Klayton and Celldweller with no way to switch back
Cuttin' you up with razor blade
Chokin' you on them words you said
Hittin' you rip-rap on you made
And the Celldweller is unafraid
Wait, how can it be too late?
'Cause I don't want to play
With such a price to pay
Chained to what I can't reclaim
I'll never be the same
Won't be the same again (be the same again)
And there's no way to
It's too late to look back (too late to)
Ain't okay, I got no way to switch back
And there's no way to
It's too late to look back (too late to)
Ain't okay, I got no way to switch back
No!
I got no way to switch back
It's too late to look back
Too late to look back
Ain't okay, I got no way to (switchback)

Too late to look back, ain't
Okay, I got no way to (switch back)

As soon as I start hearing this song, I switchback to 2004 doing my programming assignments on C++, and nights on my 1995 Nissan Maxima with the Kenwood stereo that I installed, oh god so many good memories, I wonder how I never got a speeding ticket.

[pureheartbat]

I remember it like it was yesterday. My father played this very song as we drove. I was about 4 years old or so and I pleaded that once we came out of the store he'd play it again.
And again
And again
And now I've got basically every album Celldweller had to offer! Thank you Klayton for being my all time favorite musician ever!!

[xxColdshadow]

I've always loved the original one. One of my favourites so far. <3

[ddxinthehouse]

i grew up with celldweller. without them i woulda never found so many god tier artists. Thank you Klayton for all the fond memories.

Spiderman 2 (2004) Trailer
Cut from "You always appear exhausted" to Peter swinging through the semi-trailer - you get 2 seconds of this song... it makes the whole trailer even more epic!

Why is this such a breath of fresh air
